Uncertainty Shapes Neural Dynamics in Motor Cortex During Reaching

The paper examines how uncertainty about movement targets affects neural activity in the motor cortex during reaching tasks in rhesus macaques, finding that PMd shows reduced neural trajectory expansion with higher uncertainty.

Adaptations in common synaptic inputs to spinal motor neurons during grasping versus a less functional hand task

The paper examines how common synaptic inputs to spinal motor neurons change during grasping versus less functional hand tasks, finding reduced alpha band coherence and improved force steadiness during grasping.

Interoceptive Signals Bias Decision Making in Rhesus Macaques

This study shows that interoceptive signals from the body influence decision-making in rhesus macaques by altering tolerance for aversive stimuli without affecting reward-seeking behavior.

A context-dependent switch from sensing to feeling in the primate amygdala

The paper shows that primate amygdala neurons shift from responding to tactile stimuli to reflecting social context during grooming, with baseline firing rate changes indicating affective processing.
